I got married on Halloween, and one of the many bits of research I did involved finding thematic beer brands. That list is posted over at Halloweddings. I also served a couple of brands of hard cider and (it almost goes without saying) Vampire Wine.

If you’re looking for spirits for a Halloween party (or just to drink any time; what’s the point in being goth if you can’t be spooky at unexpected moments?), that list should give you a leg up. A few thematic beers that have popped up since I compiled the list include:

Egri Bikavér (Bull’s Blood) – This is a type of wine (from Hungary) rather than something from a particular winery.

Finally, if you’re looking for something non-alcoholic:

Jones Soda offers seasonal flavors like “Candy Corn” and “Lemon Drop Dead.” They also have a site where you can order various regular flavors of their soda and have your own custom photo put on the label. Right now they’re offering a limited-edition Emily the Strange soda collection.

The now-defunct Skeleteens soda company offered flavors like Black Lemonade and Brainwash. They’re still available from a few online suppliers, and the labels alone are worth the effort to dig up a few.
